is there any way to stop dreamweaver (i have dreamweaver MX) from changing characters, for example, in some of my links i use "& a m p ;" (no spaces) because according to w3c just a plain "&" is supposed to prefix an entity, but if i do this and save it in dreamweaver it changes it back to a plain "&." i ended up editing it in notepad and that worked fine... but i would like to know how to stop dreamweaver from doing that if its possible. thanks...

There should be an option someplace in the Preferences to insert special characters as character entities. I don't know where it is, since I don't use DW, but Homesite has it, so I'm pretty sure DW will, too.

I think what you want is here:
Ctrl+U
Code Rewriting
